Portrait of My Life

Portrait Of My Life I want to paint a portrait, of my life for all of you to see. But I am not an artist and that is hard for me. Still I am going to try - so my portrait you can see. My life is full of ups and downs, also joys, sorrows, and sometimes tears. Love did come to my life and the colors in my world changed, when a daughter I did have. His love did not last and life went on. Other horizons I explored. Someone else came into my life and the sun came out once more. Life did not stop, it kept going on. Now in my twilight years, I am here with you. I have become a writer like the rest of you. Writing gives me pleasure and also something to do. My portrait is almost finished and many colors it has. The colors are the different stages that I went through in my life. Sometimes I cry, smile or laugh. But that is the only portrait of my life that I have...
My portrait,my life, my view. Written by Lucilla M. Carrillo

Nice poem Lucilla, poetry and writing has helped all of us a lot. It brings outlet to those feelings we cannot express, thoughts we feel no one cares to listen, fears we kept for ourselves and the joy we cannot explain and the frustrations we had none to bend it to. Keep writing! Good morning! Mike

Nice write Lucilla. It would be a bit better if you make one small correction in the third line of your third verse: "kepted" should be presented as "kept" for grammatical purposes. Everything else is quite descriptive.

Dear Lucilla, Thanks once again for your kind comments. The portrait of your life is not a lot different from my own. I went through 3 divorces and had 2 children. God bless, Maureen
